Hi Guys,

great work again and always a pleasure to see pics of your achievements of the week. The POW can holders look the business!

I wanted to ask you about the black primer you use. It might have been mentioned in one of the posts before, but I haven't been able to find it. Is the black stuff, just a basic primer? Or does it have anything fancy to it....an etchprimer? Or a zinc-primer? The reason I ask is because I want to use a black primer for my C8 as well. I am rather fond of a zinc-primer supplied by Motip here in Holland, but that only comes in grey.

Hi Alex, I use Tremclad black paint (spray cans and brush on) The product page is at http://www.rustoleum.ca/CBGCategory.asp?cid=15. I use it just to be different (Bob and Grant will nod their heads on that statement). I get great results from this paint, and it readily identifies a painted part as one of my parts. It is more expensive than normal primer, but less expensive than POR products.
